I'm not sure if this has been attempted, but if not, I'd like to see someone try to make an in vitro 2-day CPET. It might be possible to extract a few muscle cells from people with ME, stimulate them with electricity to simulate exercise, and see if their responses on day two differ from non-ME.

The more I learn, the more mad I get. The world is being drenched in thousands of newly created chemicals and every day more are being created. For some reason, the standard operating precedure is to release new chemicals after cursory safety studies, then decades later when people start...

Wow, pretty much all of the replies are mocking her, saying stuff about LC is not real, it's all long vax...that's disturbing.

I think the inclusion criteria line of thought was mostly just speculation by me. I wouldn't put too much stock in it. But yes, it was an attempt to explain why the differences seem smaller with deconditioned controls. Although, even though they are smaller, this is yet another study showing...

What is ART?

I think this might be more intense than pacing, as it's difficult to be cognizant of one's exact limits, and crashes still happen. I assume this would be doing far less than one feels they can handle so that there is zero chance of a crash.

Not sure if there are many other examples, but Ron Davis mentions one potentially successful case (or could be spontaneous remission) of someone recovering after avoiding crashes for a year: "One researcher had ME and she didn't have a crash and after a year she got better."

Merged thread I started rewatching one of my favorite shows, House M.D., and saw this lovely scene in the first episode (starts at 1:23):

"On social media, some patients have posted that they experienced a very prolonged recovery from the 2-day CPET. Given the potential for prolonged and potentially severe disability in ME/CFS, these anecdotes have prompted hesitancy to undergo a 2-day CPET. As a response to such patient advocacy...
